When the rent ate the budget: how a rehearsal room with a lounge came to be in Saarlouis

Culture Hub is a rehearsal room with a lounge in Saarlouis, run by the non-profit association Culture Hub e.V. Sven Köhn, Marc Tumat and Jennifer Meiser founded the association in January 2026. The idea came about in November 2024: while producing a musical of their own, Sven Köhn and Marc Tumat watched the rent eat up the budget – for a place that, at four rehearsal nights a week, was never quite theirs.

In the former premises of the Prediger staircase company at Industriestraße 13, the room they had always wanted for rehearsing has taken shape: around 100 m² of floor space (9.5 × 10.5 m) with a ceiling height of 3 to 6 m, an 8.25 m wide mirror wall, a dance and rehearsal floor, permanently installed sound equipment and a lounge with around 20 seats. There is also a bathroom with shower and toilet.

The space is meant for everyone who rehearses, teaches or works on something together: dance and movement groups, yoga teachers and course leaders, theatre groups and independent ensembles, associations, workshops, and photo and video projects. The whole Hub is rented by the hour: €20/h for non-profit associations, €35/h for everyone else; whole day: price on request. Anyone who wants to rent it first requests a tour: the team shows them the space on site, and dates are then arranged directly with the team.

The association’s aim: culture shouldn’t fail for lack of space – neither because there is none, nor because the rent eats up the budget.
